Chit-Chat: ok stop i didmt asked about that

Celsius > Fahrenheit btw soz

It's sunny here but I think it'll rain later.

 

[Hikamaru]

Celsius is superior because it's easier to understand.

 

[Radiating]

Not to us Americans

saw a thing once that was like... celsius is based on water, but fahrenheit is based on humans so it inherently makes more sense to us or something

False for the Fahrenheit scale. The zero of the Fahrenheit scale is defined as the temperature of a brine solution made of equal parts of ice and salt. From there, other points were measured, such as the freezing point of water (32?F) and the average temperature of a healthy human's body (around 96-98?F). The boiling point of water was measured at 212?F, 180 degrees above the freezing point.

Which make the Celsius scale actually inherently more understandable, since it's in that scale that the freezing point of water is defined as zero and the boiling point of water at 100?C (as we know, water is EVERYWHERE). One hundred divisions between the two points, 100=10^2, and as such divisible into ten divisions of ten degrees each and we all know how divisions by 10 are easier to calculate and more natural to understand (we have ten fingers). The only reasons I can think of for you weirdo Americanskis to resist the change of units is one degree Celsius being a larger temperature difference than one degree Fahrenheit, and the Fahrenheit scale having a lower zero point, and so the typical temperatures one deals with in most situations are still positive numbers.

Of course, science uses Kelvin. Try anything else in that kind of math and you're royally fucked.

that's a lot of science right there :0 thank you

Being a physics student for 6 years has its advantages ;)

Further curiosity: The way Fahrenheit designed his scale was actually pretty clever, considering we were in the early 18th century. He invented the first practical, accurate thermometers, and set the freezing point of water at 32?F and the normal body temperature at 96?F (he did base these values on earlier works tho, but made a few corrections) so that there were 64 degrees between the two, and so, to mark the degree lines in his instruments, he simply had to bisect the interval six times (2⁶=64).

The store didn't have the milkshake I wanted cries

 

[Gabri]

Science talk shouldn't be such a thread killer :'(

 

[Corrin]

I think it's neat! I find science very interesting :)

 

[noa]

Shoutout to pork fried rice

 

[tokyodrift]

i haven't had pork fried rice in ages

 

[blue]

never tried it, only egg fried rice.

What is your favourite flavour, missy?

 

[Corrin]

Chocolate ^^ I'm boring

 

[Gabri]

How so missy, chocolate's gr8

 

[Corrin]

it's just /slams fist/ so damn tasty

 

[jombii]

GO EGGS!

also, yay kelvin.

also, can we have another starter war? let's skip all the gens and jump to gen VII for USUM hype

 

[Radiating]

Popplio let's go

 

[EC]

Yeah, Popplio for sure.
